About the Kawasaki KLX300
Fork service and running-gear parts with older KLX300 and KLX300R applications.
A KLX300 search can include an older KLX300R trail bike as well as later KLX300 models. This guide focuses on the older applications shown by the selected repair products. The catalogue uses KLX300, KLX300R and KLX300A entries, so keep the designation from the motorcycle with the year when narrowing the collection.
Fork seals and bushings serve different jobs
Oil seals retain fork oil; DU bushings support the sliding fork components. The featured seals list KLX300 1997–2007. The bushing set lists 1997–2002 and 2004, leaving 2003 and the remaining later years unconfirmed. Use the application for the component being replaced.
Model and year checksKawasaki KLX300 repair checkpoints
Each repair part has its own model, year and package details. Start with the checks that apply to your job.
KLX300R 1997–2007
Front pads and clutch plate
These examples explicitly use the R designation. Do not transfer that range to a later model merely because the engine size matches.
KLX300 1997–2007
Fork oil seals
Match the installed fork and seal profile. A seal application is separate from the bushing application.
KLX300 1997–2002 and 2004
Fork DU bushings
This bushing set does not list 2003 or the later years covered by the oil seals. Confirm the bushing application independently before ordering.
Frame, engine and component markingsKawasaki KLX300 identification
- Use the complete KLX designation and original-market model year.
- Distinguish older applications from a later KLX300R, dual-sport KLX300 or KLX300SM.
- Identify a swapped fork independently of the frame year.
- Check front and rear brake positions separately and retain gaps in the product year lists.
